The rains, they finally came, <br />awesome in it's power - <br />the lightning show was super, <br />much more than just a shower. <br /> <br />People scurrying to their cars, <br />Under pelting, pouring clouds - <br />They were witness to God's tears, <br />their hands were clasped, <br />their heads were bowed. <br /> <br />The thunder cracked above our heads, <br />surprising many lovers - <br />and made a few jump from their beds - <br />throwing back the covers. <br /> <br />We need much more of these, <br />A thunderstorm galore - <br />When the clouds release their treasure, <br />and it really starts to pour. <br /> <br />Lightning, I don't mind it, <br />Thunder, I can stand - <br />and the rain that falls from heaven, <br />saturates a hot, dry land. <br /> <br />Thank you Lord, for rain, <br />for the wetness that abounds - <br />for making a big deposit, <br />as you go about your rounds.<br /><br />david lessard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thank-you-for-the-rain-lord/
